For military frequencies other than those used at specific airfields, or
for non-aviation services, you will want to consult the Poilce Call or
other similar references. And of course, putting out a general request
here with information about your monitoring location will usually
generate some good replies. Since a lot of military communications are
in the VHF and UHF ranges, they're line-of-sight and therefore of
limited range. "Ohio" is a large area, so if you specify where you are
it might be helpful.

And if you're REALLY hard-core -- and willing to take some risks -- you
might hang out in the vicinity of your local National Guard armory
during a weekend when they're having their monthly drills, "armed" with
a scanner and frequency counter. You can probably pick up some good
"intel" on what frequencies they're using that way. Same goes for Air
National Guard, Army/Navy/Marine/Air Force Reserve facilities, and
active-duty military installations.

Note that when I mentioned the risk factor above, though, consider that
we are at terrorist-threat condition "Orange" right now, so someone
sniffing around with electronic equipment will probably not be looked
upon as harmless by the MPs patrolling the base. (Same goes for
listening around airports, but their frequencies are public
information.) If it ever goes to RED, best to just stay home....

Thanks Steve,
Yeah, kinda knew that already. It's been years since I monitored the military
freqs and I don't want to really waste five hundred entries in my piece for no
action, you know what I mean.

As for the 'mobiling' and getting the freqs, that is EXACTLY what I used to
do. Drive around in my black car with five antennas on it...lol...definitely
'wired for sound.' I'd call it 'booger hunting' and would drive out by the
bases, got some pretty wild stories and actually backed up with video tape.
:-)
